As a long time Mac user in a PC-product dominated world, I always twitch slightly when installing generic "dual platform" products. No need in this case -- I slapped one into an older G4 (Gigabit Ethernet model with an Powerlogix processor upgrade) running MacOS 10.4.7, fired up the machine, and boom 4 additional ports (5 if you count the internal one, which I'm gonna figure out something to do with), no fuss, no muss, no drivers or tweaking needed. Although I haven't tried any formal timing runs, reading files either directly from a digital camera or via a generic flashcard reader is very notably faster (why I installed the card in the first place) making this product a very good investment of $20.

I got this to upgrade my Windows 98 SE computer to USB 2.0. I had been told by many people that I would have a very hard time getting it to work because of the age of my computer,however I had it installed and running in fifteen minutes. The directions were clear and best of all I didn't have to take out my old USB 1.1 hub so I now have nine USB ports. I highly recomend this USB card.

Easy to install in a dual G5 Power Mac, no drivers required. The card works fine with OS 10.4.8, but the computer will not go into Sleep Mode if a disk drive is connected to this card (including iPods). The drives will sleep, but not the Mac. The computer will sleep fine if my scanner, card reader (without card) and IR remote are plugged into this card. Also, if you plug your keyboard into the card, you can't wake the computer because the card is "sleeping". I checked the ADS website and there are no fixes for the sleep issues. If you can work around the quirks, the card does work.

I used this in my older Mac G3 for my new iPhone. The iPhone would not work with the USB 1.0. So I got this, just installed it and restarted. It worked great.

Nothing else to really state here....said it worked on a G5...it does not. It was so cheap that I cannot return or restock it without losing more money so now I have a useless PCIX card

I was able to install this USB Turbo 2.0 upgrade PCI Card into my Mac without any trouble. It is so good to have more USB ports!

Very straight forward to install and use. No surprises but a tight fit in the PCI slot requires a little more force that one would normally expect.

Bought two of them - one for a pc, one for a Mac. Both installed very easily and are working great. Definitely recommended.

I put this card into my 2001 G4 quicksilver, largely to accomodate my daughter's new iPod touch.
It dropped right in, I did install some tiny bit of software from the Cd just to be thorough.
It works perfectly. The iPod liked it, the cameras like it, it is a very worthy item to install in a computer that is pre-USB 2.
I already had the D-Link hub and that plugged right in and works just great with it too.
All in all, this is well worth the 20-25 bones just to plug in the iPod. A very good deal.

Needed to add USB card for added bandwidth necessary to operate camera.works great. Shipping was fast. Installation was fast.
